FOREWORD
Each Strategic Product Specification has been prepared to inform Water Corporation staff,
consultants, contractors and land developers of the requirements for selecting and acquiring a
manufactured product to be used in strategic Corporation infrastructure. The definition of ‘Product’
includes items that comprise assembled components, equipment or plant for mechanical, electrical
and civil infrastructure applications.
The objective of a Strategic Product Specification is to specify fit-for-purpose Product which will
contribute to the provision of effective water services at least whole-of-life cost and with least risk to
service standards and safety. A Strategic Product Specification also provides uniform standards for
compatibility of new water infrastructure with existing water assets.
Many Strategic Product Specifications have drawn on the design, asset management and operational
experience of Product performance in live service gained by the Corporation over time. Some
Strategic Product Specifications have drawn on the experience of the water industry nationally by
referencing Australian or WSAA standards.
Strategic Product Specifications are intended for reference and use in the following typical
procurement scenarios:
Capital funded infrastructure design and construction work;
Private developer funded subdivision infrastructure for takeover by the Corporation;
Operationally funded infrastructure design and construction work;
Corporation period contracts for Product purchases;
Product purchases for stock or for miscellaneous minor work.
A published Strategic Product Specification will, in some cases, comprise technical content that is
typical of a range of products of the same type (type specification) but may exclude specific
requirements that should apply to a particular project or application. In such cases, the project
designer is required to document the supplementary project specific requirements in the appropriate
Clause of the ‘Project Specific Requirements’ Appendix of the Specification.
The text of a published Specification should not be directly modified. In the event that a text variation
is considered necessary to accommodate the needs of a particular project or application, the text
modification should be documented in the appropriate Clause of a ‘Project Specific Requirements’
Appendix.
Deviation from the requirements of a Strategic Product Specification on a particular project is
permissible only in special circumstances subject to consultation with and express acceptance by
Principal Engineer, Mechanical, Infrastructure Design Branch to whom all enquiries relating to the
technical content of the Specification should be directed. Feedback on the specification is encouraged
and should be similarly directed.

multi-stage, progressive cavity type. Pumps shall be bare shaft, or block style for close-coupled
electric motor, or a gear-motor configuration. The design criteria of the pumps shall be based
on a minimum life expectancy of 25 years.
3.2 Stator
The pump shall incorporate a stator assembly of the 2-lobe (chambers) or 3-lobe type, moulded
from a tough, abrasion-resistant synthetic elastomer. Stators shall be of the standard wall
(variable thickness) type which shall be permanently bonded inside a steel or cast iron housing.
The stator shall be fitted with a thermal dry-run protection device.

The pump rotor shall be of the 1-lobe or 2-lobe type manufactured from precision-ground,
abrasion-resistant, chrome-plated, high-grade carbon steel or stainless steel. Larger rotors shall
be hollow-cast, hollow-pressed or hollow-drilled to reduce the magnitude of the centrifugal
force transferred to the stator in order to increase rotor/stator life.
3.4 Suction and Discharge Housings
The pump suction and discharge housings shall be flanged in accordance with AS 4087Note
and
fitted with drain and priming plugs. The suction port shall be able to be rotated in 90º intervals.

Where the pump incorporates a universal drive shaft it shall be manufactured from precision-
ground, abrasion-resistant, high-grade stainless steel.
The transition shaft couplings shall be of the universal pin type utilising high grade hardened
steel or stainless components, which shall not promote galling. The joints shall be oil filled and
sealed using a synthetic elastomer boot, or a stainless steel protector with synthetic elastomeric
seals. The joints shall be designed with a low angle of articulation and for minimal pin travel
for reduced wear. The universal coupling pins and bushes shall be readily replaceable for
maintenance purposes.
3.10 Main Drive Shaft
Where the main drive shaft is subject to wetting from the product or forms part of the gland
assembly it shall be manufactured from precision-ground, abrasion-resistant, high-grade
stainless steel.
3.11 Direction of Rotation
Pumps shall be bi-directional with the standard direction of rotation producing suction in the
chamber containing the transition shaft (drive end). For reverse rotation applications, where this
chamber becomes the discharge or outlet chamber, the mechanical seal shall be rated for the
maximum applied discharge pressure.
3.12 Fasteners
Each pump shall be supplied with all fasteners, washers and gaskets required for its installation.
Fastener threads shall conform to AS 1275 and bolts and studs shall be sized so that excessive
